Generation Why


The i.generation (Generation Y 1982-2002) and the current Cyber Generation are in total contrast with the past generations (the current toothless and hairless, kidding!).

Much has been said in pointing out the differences and the logical contradictions and 'abnormalities' and lameness of this present generation. I don't need to point out every single obvious perception about the latter.

With all the obvious setbacks, we were asked once in class, 'why should we understand this generation?' to which my answer was, 'we need to understand this generation because they have been misunderstood as a purposeless generation.'

It maybe true that the progression of the world sees a pattern of regression among the turning generations. it can be an object of disgust and ridicule but never a case for hopelesness. I think what marks the diference for all who notice is whether who gets burdened and remain burdened and who gets burdened and decides to do something of his burden.
